Angel continued to hold herself to get her breath back. She would have been an easy target for someone fresh, but luckily her bout of offensive moves hurt Chigusa just enough to prevent her from capitalizing on the opportunity. When Angel had recovered, though, Chigusa had managed to get back to her feet and was already closing in to fight back. Angel reached up to grapple right back against Chigusa, it was actually something she had been hoping to do with the girl from the start. Statistically, it should have been an advantage for Angel since she had more weight on her opponent. But being unprepared meant Chigusa already had momentum and resolve. So when the masked girl met the idol's grapple, she found herself getting pushed back in the direction of the corner.

"N-No!" she shouted when she realized she was losing ground. As the two almost got to the corner, though, Angel let herself get pushed the last few feet so the two actually moved at a fast pace. At the last second, she let go and ducked down to try and trip the charging girl. If she had timed it right, she was hoping Chigusa's momentum would carry her forward and right down onto either the middle or lower ropes. She had to slow the girl back down, afraid of what Chigusa could do if she got enough momentum in the match.

Chigusa's rush caught Angel slightly off guard and drove her all the way back. The idol wasn't particularly strong, but she had momentum on her side. Angel was winded and hurt after all, and even though Chigusa wasn't in great shape herself she was more than pissed off enough to ignore her pain for a chance to hurt her tormentor. Angel fell back towards the corner, and Chigusa relentlessly drove her backwards faster and faster, hoping she hit the corner hard.

That is, until suddenly Angel ducked down and tripped the charging idol! "Ahhh!" Chigusa gasped, her legs getting tangled up. She fell forward rather ingloriously, her face planting right against the pads for the middle turnbuckle! The idol bounces back and grabbed the ropes, falling onto her knees. The blow stunned her and she was left open as she shook her head, trying to get her bearings.

Angel's little maneuver had worked. The idol tripped forward and into the turnbuckle. Honestly, the masked girl was relieved more than anything else. But she wasn't about to count her blessings just yet. She had to get back to her original goal before Chigusa could do too much damage to her. "Don't get so enthusiastic..." Angel said as she reached down to grab onto Chigusa's right ankle with both of her hands. Angel gripped the ankle tightly and lifted it up really high into the air pulling most of Chigusa's body with it. As Angel's arms almost get fully stretched out above her, she steps back and throws Chigusa's ankle down to the ground forcefully.

Despite having to have just lifted Chigusa's weight off the ground in a deadlift, Angel immediately would have continued the assault with several kicks to the idol's right leg. "We wouldn't you to hurt yourself running around now would we?" She had to keep Chigusa against the ropes if she wanted to contain the idol.

Chigusa was about to pull herself up when suddenly she felt Angel grabbing her leg from behind. "No!" Chigusa gasped. She tried to kick out to free herself before Angel could do anything, but her opponent was quick on the draw. She lifted Chigusa's leg up with a lot of force, nearly lifting the idol's entire body up off the mat! The idol gasped in surprise. She hadn't expected this from her opponent!

"Gah!" Chigusa gasped when her leg smashed against the ground. A jolt of pain shot through her entire body. It seemed Angel really wanted to cripple the idol, probably to slow her down so the small girl could outspeed her. Chigusa knew that if she lost her speed she would be at a really big disadvantage. Angel wasn't as weak as her size made her seem, and her moves possessed an aura of brutality that kinda scared Chigusa. The kicks that came afterwards made Chigusa cry out more in pain. Her opponent learned from her past mistake it seemed and focused her efforts on pummeling Chigusa while the girl was still recovering. Chigusa hissed in pain. She looked back and glared at Angel.

"Get away from me!" Chigusa snarled. She tried to kick out both her legs, even though her legs were still caught, and deliver a wild strike into Angel's gut as retaliation!

Angel had continued kicking at Chigusa while she was down in hopes to keep her grounded. For the most part, her strategy was starting to work. Chigusa wasn't able to stay as mobile as she had been before. But even despite her kicking, Chigusa started flailing her legs to fight back. At first Angel tried to grab the legs back so they wouldn't get in the way. But she remembered what happened the last time she tried this, and stepped back to dodge the wild kicks of the idol. She really didn't want the wind knocked out of her again. But she didn't want Chigusa to be able to move freely again. "Alright...I'll get away from you..."

So instead of continuing the assault, Angel stalked the laying down idol. "Come on...get up Chigusa..." she demanded while circling around her. "Your fans want to see you in action...get up..." she said once more. It was clear she was stalking the idol with every intention of charging right at her when she tried to get to her feet. She took another step towards Chigusa while crouching down waiting for her moment to strike.

Chigusa was against the ropes, her legs in a lot of pain and she didn't know if they could support her weight immediately. She rubbed her knee with one hand. The idol's eyes narrowed as she looked over her shoulder at Angel, gritting her teeth in displeasure. How dare this girl try and damage Chigusa's beautiful legs! Chigusa was going to make this girl pay for that. She had already damaged Angel's stomach a bit, if she could land a few more powerful blows against Angel's stomach she could really try to destroy her core and really cripple the girl!

She was wary as she made her way up. Angel practically told Chigusa she was going to charge with the way she positioned herself, crouching down and getting closer to Chigusa the more the idol got up. She was probably going to charge the idol and try to smash her against the turnbuckle the second Chigusa got up. The idol had to be prepared for that.

She quickly got to her feet, expecting Angel's charge coming in. The idol would try to jump up and throw a big double-kick backwards to strike at Angel, using the turnbuckle to hold her up, anticipating that Angel would charge directly into her feet and get smashed!

Angel's stalking of the idol was meant to get into her head. But Chigusa would have none of it, she carefully got to her feet while watching the girl the whole time. Regardless, the masked girl didn't care. She had to give a window of opportunity to get up, and Angel was waiting for that. And sure enough Angel saw it. She charged right at Chigusa as the girl was getting up, planning to spear the girl against the corner turnbuckle. However, Chigusa used the turnbuckle as a base to throw a monster kick at the charging girl.

The idol's feet drove right into Angel's chest. Once again, it sent her reeling backwards as she grasped her chest in pain. "Ugh..." Caught off guard, she stumbled backwards except this time she fell to her knees. "You...you bitch..." she groaned in pain facing away from the idol. Chigusa's strenght alone would have hurt. The fact that Angel charged straight into it made it all the worse, especially since she didn't protect herself from it.

Chigusa felt a jolt of pain shoot through her right leg as she landed that kick. The idol hissed in pain. She landed with both feet on the mat, but her leg nearly buckled underneath her. Angel really did do a lot of damage to her leg. The idol grit her teeth and narrowed her eyes. Angel had done quite a bit of damage to her leg, it seemed. But the idol wasn't going to let that get to her. She took a few breaths, stabilizing her stance first. Thus she didn't launch an attack against the retreating Angel, needing to recover a bit herself before she could strike.

"Hah... I'm a bitch?" Chigusa said," You're the one... trying to cripple me!" Chigusa gritted her teeth and clenched her hands into fists. Her leg was feeling better now. She was able to start fighting once more. The idol stepped forward towards Angel. If the girl was still down, she would get right up close and try to knee the girl right in her hard mask. If Angel was up, the idol would approach more carefully, trying to provoke Angel into attacking instead.

Angel had managed to get back to her feet thanks to the short break Chigusa took. Her body was really starting to ache, just a simple task like straightening her back was getting difficult without cringing. As successful as she thought her tactics had been, they hadn't been without cost. Chigusa clearly knew what her plans were as well, not that Angel expected anything otherwise. She managed to get a laugh out despite the pain as she turned around to face the idol. "Hah...but you're a real woman...I'm sure you can take it..." As she said those last words, Chigusa was already approaching her cautiously.

Everytime Angel charged in, it ended badly for her. Even with an injured leg, she knew Chigusa could make her pay for being careless. At the same time, however, she didn't want to just sit back and do nothing. It was hard to be cautious and careful when wrestling. Especially when she wanted to hurt the girl. "Besides...like you said...it's not like we're friends or anything," she added as she readjusted her mask so it fit evenly on her face. She knew the match would be tough regardless of who had the upper hand, but so far she'd like to think she was winning. At least if Chigusa's leg still hurt, it meant she now had the advantage of speed. Feeling confident, Angel ran back at Chigusa but this time she was a little more tricky about it. She would veer away from the idol and harmlessly pass by her. She'd keep up the speed, running into the ropes and bouncing herself off. With a full head of steam, Dark Angel would leap at Chigusa in a crossbody dive!

"Yeah, you're right about that," Chigusa said without any hint of sarcasm. She really wasn't planning on treating Angel as a friend any more. Not even if the girl was begging her for mercy. The pain in both her legs now stiffened her resolve; she was going to beat this girl and show her what it meant to mess with a top-caliber veteran like her. The idol stood her ground and played defensive. Her legs were sore after all, she wasn't going to be able to strike as fast as before. Angel knew that when she attacked her legs repeatedly. The girl planned on slowing her down so she was faster, and her plan worked. Chigusa had to counter this accordingly.

Seeing Angel bounce off the ropes and charge at her with a crossbody dive, the idol knew the girl's mass would be more than enough to bowl her over. The girl was heavier than Chigusa after all. But as Angel was charging at her, the idol still had the speed to dodge whatever Angel threw at her. All she had to do was duck after all.

"Not good enough!" Chigusa said, dropping to her knees and leaning backwards to lie on the mat, allowing Angel to fly over her. The idol quickly straightened up afterwards and spun around as she got up. There were no wasted motions. She was a little slow getting up though, as her legs were still in pain. The idol winced as she pushed herself up. She knew she couldn't afford to dawdle. Angel was a really really fast fighter.

"Yahh!" Chigusa yelled. Once she stood, she would step forward and try to throw a powerful chop straight across Angel's breasts!
